WC3 - Yule Cup #5 - WB Final: [HU] TH000 vs. FoCuS [ORC] (Group D)

decision one of the day th defeated lin two and oh and now his opponent is focus for the playoffs so from focus aside you just saw t.h just destroying lynn pretty much what do you do do you even have any hope to take this match there's always hope if you play well if you have a good game anything can happen i mean judging from uh just the very recent wgtl it didn't look like th was having much of a chance against lynn but a new day anything is possible but if th keeps up his momentum his level of play he is certainly going into this as the favorite egg coils this is a map we haven't seen earlier lin vetoed it against th why is that is there a special strat here perhaps an expansion we're going to find out exactly th a good track record versus focus historically above 70 percent that says a lot focus with a historically uh weak matchup versus human but things got a lot better so equals what do we get we got th on the upper left hand side with an archmage first and focus with the farts here so much was to be expected to borrow here for focus as well before the tag so could be quite a few grunts out early and the altar positioning for th suggests he's gonna be moving south which means either natural or merc camp first mercamp of course can have the big benefit of giving you shadow priest against farsi and wolves that is outstanding and focus is actually sending out a peon scout with i imagine the intention of oh i was about to say stealing the shadow priest but no sets up his shop aggressively in the middle just like he did against one two zero earlier yeah very reminiscent so lots of farcier pressure probably there is a scout tower again by th that is not too expensive not upgrading it yet but could do so in a bit not stealing the shadow priest as you said as the peon was used to build the shop that's a free cam for th i have a free level too that's a great start for him ring of regen not too bad at all with that he can trade hits more freely is that perhaps the reason why lin vetoed this map because the am can go to the mercamp easy you can punish this you can come in with the grunt and farsi right away looking for peasant kills but of course you don't know ahead of time that this will be happening now focus knows this was going on he did scout with the wolf but now of course he's too late to harass going for some items continuing towards the middle would love to creep the merchant that's good experience for him easy level two but great scout as well by th sees this ahead of time yeah good footman usage indeed so this is a little obvious if this works to get level two of course if not you can still fall back to the shop and get some items there doesn't really need it but with friends it's kind of fast so chain lightning acquired th doesn't care about this just threatens the last hit but the wolf and the farsi are taking care of this he is expanding at the same time hope is not coming into her ass if he had come into harass though he wouldn't have been level two anyways wouldn't have had chain lightning would have had to go up against the shadow priest as well this just i guess looks like a very solid build here by mr th and if you can steal the mauler here as well this would be just icing on the cake though man this smaller is following the shadow freeze some sweet candy bars in the shadow priest's pockets but now with chain lighting that should come to focus but good pressure by th berserker stolen for focus though yeah no expansion by the way peasants just sent back attack happening that is a big expansion uh tech disadvantage but it is am level three we have seen before how strong that can be can oftentimes buy you the time necessary for your second hero to come out which will of course be mk versus tc and this berserker is helping out focus a ton with the bonus damage against the footies focus needs a decent amount of healing though all the grunts pretty though if th oh no okay focus is not gambling over it not allowing the footman to last hit this second shadow priest was that enough time all the birds are maybe out of the group that's all no speed scroll save is it oh two hp that was the one of the lowest damage rolls possible there was a speed scroll gone and the footman killed oh my archmage diving forward lodge is ready to be kicked there as well tc on the way no shop in the main of course hurts a bit now focus putting on a good fight so far can't he kill the grunt why isn't it going for the grunt let's go for the lodge instead thinks that is worth more but tier is too late for the lodge i believe he can't as this would be huge artwork can attack now oh second worklamental isn't attacking this stomp on the archmage who's kind of trapped chain lightning as well big damage the launch falls eventually and the archmage man he's still alive no tp what elementals put some more damage on to this will be experienced for the torrent chieftain of course but shaman delayed by so much dude how sick was that by th he's chasing the grunt knows he can get the kill but he thinks to himself wait a minute i think i just barely by a sliver have enough to get the lodge cancel and he is right of course didn't miscalculate and perhaps he can get the grunt here with the boots hells yeah he can i'm now not having a shop in the main by the way extremely annoying yeah oh it's kind of short on resources especially lumber shuttle three needs enthusiasm around ph so aggressive ring of regen helps a ton by the way yeah this ring of regen it's one of the better ones we've seen recently man it's on fire today geez this proxy shop turned out to be a great liability did he go for it because he thought there was going to be an expansion by th did he just think he wasn't gonna be under so much pressure i think he counted on expansion uh by the way mountain king and trees trapped in th's base needs to open that up real quick okay time to fall back time to heal time to creep a little more focus what can you do with your time peon is not coming out focus certainly doesn't have the resources for this right now after how his main was just ravaged at least to get shaman at least he gets up to 50 supply at least he finds at least some levels at least at least at least this will take some more time and the crib speed by th just much faster could be good solo experience here for the mk gets the boots is he gonna give him the gloves well since he doesn't go bash i guess that doesn't make sense if you put item in the marketplace buys the pendant oh nerfed pendant one of the worst items of the game focus about to contest this but the farcier is not here does he still have it in him stomp right clicks he needs to get it now goes to th with the farcia knot here okay could still result in some kills but focus is not only losing this creep but also a grunt okay this one probably yep that's level two how a creep jack can go wrong and that was without the militia even much involved yeah focus isn't ready he's nowhere near 50. lightning shield upgrade only now finally can make use of the shop again speaking of shop he got the first round of items involved he'll scroll but this size at level three not really it's level four archmage that's great level three mk still far away but militia to the south all right th feels he's strong enough he's had good enough of a game to now squeeze in the expansion it's gonna be quite costly around 600 gold but also gonna come up quickly focus preparing for that as well with the tower and time to creep the tc at the mercenary can is this level three mk then with the moloch's not really right first year second heal scroll yeah zero merchant items here for th no involved no heal scroll focus might even make it a priority to steal the next involve even though he doesn't really need one or the second one tc super tank period and ring mountain king getting closer and closer to three next kill is level three so expo at 60 focus following this will take a long time though he got the reinforced defenses upgrade the tower will help double berserker for him now is it a distraction push coming with all the items he has in this cast by th first swords first breakers this army comp looking strong yeah nice water elemental scout here again with the invisibility yeah where did you go for the turtle but then he saw him coming and retreat went for magic sentry already by the way it's gonna have some reveals to use from the arcanes against what ah endless potions on the turret i guess yeah maybe just to scout for creep routes backstabs something like this something like this something like that yes you know okay what elemental harass and the fighter ups we have that level advantage for the tc what can he make off of it it's not gonna be lasting for a long t.h is like some of your damn wolves and what experience but he knows he's going hard for the mountain king trying to trigger this involved potion doesn't though in this instead and this engagement doesn't look too shabby for focus if it goes down level three mk now and that should be the level two clap then most likely oh hits the mountain king dropping quite low over here gets a big clap off falls back to the back line not using the involve yet of course melissa can't be called anymore they erupted erected the expansion earlier focus though everything low now no mana anymore has to run mk still tons of spells to use holding on to it patiently morkoto's come in gets off another devour grunt also goes down though and still a big supply lead for the human absolutely pertinent the tc's in a slow trap has to go for the tp is there another kill he's trying with the kodu pieces damage enough he's spamming his spells and gets the four supply support unit while having this expo up that's big yeah the expansion took a lot of damage for focus heavily protected now though and now a lot of breakers are coming and this is always the late game issue for the tc when many breakers are out against rifles you can always take a good fight but against breakers it's a lot harder the human transition towards them though isn't as simple as with uh rifle priest so it's not always the better strategy necessarily but in the late game it certainly is and now it looks like that is reflected in th's movement as well he's feeling confident moving across the map he's got mk healing up and clarity running mana potion in the inventory still of course with a pendant of energy yeah next fight the lack of mana for the tc he got him on a potion now i was wondering there's no shop at this expo the expo is at below 50 percent i worry for this structure double heel throw item wise th is far ahead uh focus is far ahead but okay just click through this and then tp out it kind of looks like it he's clapping against the peons there's gonna be no repair breakers and merc damage may be enough not trying to force it that could backfire repositioning now gets a bit of free damage in again position is so good intercepting reinforcements again clappy clap and there's more where this one came from but it's also a lot of fuel scrolls seven seconds cooldown actually hurts yep stomp indeed but that is another invite to a storm oh great hold on the line with that game on the line kodo's get off some devourers but these storms have been connecting too well this one's pretty good stomp and lightning tail lightning over the top clap against it more priests are coming in for th the human with a massive supply lead now we have wolves coming out as well am in trouble perhaps if he falls that's the way back he's gonna have to tp out of this but he doesn't th had the tp wasn't anticipating the chain lightning i suppose and now only the mk is left pump faking the stone ball wants to bait the involve poke is not falling for it though and the orc is fighting his way back mk with another big clap but now getting purged he's in trouble gonna have to use the involve here sick fights sick sick sick fights we haven't seen a single lightning shield in this game all goes to purge but now the tc has no mana anymore and no item anymore and can't reach the shop th still 15 supply lead and snare focus fire but the focus fire is barely existing the ring of regen again so good same lightning he takes that with ease though oh with these excuse me the breaker front line he can't break it aim his back providing the aura close to level five by the way th goes into the main backs off of this expansion that's time for focus to repair super low on lumber local mental scouting again and the mana wreck on the mountain king is sick yeah these late game clarities very nice what's focus doing could be an option but this army is so awkward man three kodo's two shaman where's the actual beef where's the actual damage yeah it's in the spells i guess but for that you have to pass all the breakers that they need to do with chain lightning it's super hard to do with stomps and maybe in this is an option he's not going for it though one production building down the second production building is falling so folks can only go for shaman at the moment nth is at the dangerous 70 supply human army a town is understood a little bit more mercenaries here for focus has to dislodge this attack somehow reclaim his main but how is he gonna do that dragon hawks in anticipation of wyvern but they're certainly not coming raider down two more kills to level five probably tc in trouble has an involved has a heel scroll clap and stomp exchange as always so many swords everything will be slowed forever three breakers got devoured but it doesn't matter really because th still has so much stuff left focus committing in deep with his speed stroll now he doesn't have it anymore in this clap and slow is punishing him like crazy am gets level 5 and i think his entire army is dying folk is about to lose this map clap just doing crazy amounts of damage this is it gg th with another win not bad th with a normal mass caster army right there's no rifle shenanigans there's no um one rifle in two castles there's no skip breakers there's no skipped sorceress it's just the very standard we saw like two years ago also archmage builds we've seen experiments with like one two one build with blizzard early not happening um just super straight up yeah playing normal outside of that one griffin game but just playing it super well playing it so well i am extremely impressed with th today one map away now from making it to the playoffs in first place and again we go on to amazonia for the orcs losers choice yeah just as we saw from lin in this matchup this is what we've seen so focus very very sure he watched that match so he knows what's up and what to do and what to do maybe better than lin which is always hard to do if th is going 4-0 against two of the three best orc in the world that would be quite sick yeah would be a big statement today humans have been quite uh discouraged even in this matchup seems like humans are discouraged everywhere nowadays but th shows if you play well it is absolutely within your might to beat anybody even the greatest okay and then of course later today we got one two zero versus lin and the lower bracket final with the losers of the following matches oh well the winner and the loser you know what i mean you know how a gsl bracket works by now i guess admin calls for the go is he calling for the final map in this matchup th makes this look kind of easy doesn't he i wouldn't say easy there was a lot of decisions there to be made especially against lynn earlier the way he played this early game on az which we're going to now i think was perfect the way he split his footies kept up pressure with the am found his levels had the right build had the right movement it doesn't look super flashy it's not like he found ten four units around in a row or something yeah but it was expertly done i feel like i'm like most impressed by how well he dodges the storms sometimes he's face tanking them when he knows he can do that but on this map against lin we saw that when he dodged it with the mountain king and here with the entire army and at some point it's so like easy to do because they're slow everywhere and you can't get rid of it and then on at one point tc has noah anymore and that's where you take the fight let's see if this happens again th punching for the playoffs thank you guanzan with a 12 month resub we expect to see both players here going towards the lab first with the lightning shield creep that is just too juicy to give up a quick level two always appreciated i love by the way how just two days ago or yesterday a lot of people were uh whining for human with sock eliminated with jamiko eliminated with fortitude not having the best strategies and now th is playing and a lot of people are crying about casters that tells you a lot about the plays of th here yeah recently talked with jamiko about balance since we're on the subject he says this matchup is 50 50. and i guess uh that isn't too far from the truth and it might just be i might might sound really wild but it might just be that it's a lot about players as well and skill and skill and strategies and timings crazy right it's not just all down to imbalance it's an unpopular opinion i know but i stand for it yeah t.h is playing players forces are under attack one of the best human versus orc matchups i've seen in a long time for the harass stealing a last hit here is not really to be expected but if it does work it's amazing also making focus life a little bit more difficult but focus playing around it pretty well oh yeah that was flawless very well done claus as well level two instantly the wolves walking over again we have the early tower here for th he's gonna attack first and then upgrade it i believe moves are in so we saw this tower a lot the upgrade was like very early the upgrade would off was often times rather late except on northern isles where it was coming immediately could still be punished i guess he like focused tried but then he needed the wolves in the middle teenage again pretending to push into the orc base i don't think that's enough damage for the borrow castle is it like maybe ch snow's better equipment arrived chain lightning takes one out though there's another water elemental if he wants to commit a lot of mana damage on the footman is really good with the borrows but oh mass repair started yeah no it's not enough if he has claws plus mantle this works but without it it doesn't and that hurts a lot it's two footmen lost it's time where you weren't creeping that's more experience to the farseer where th is early against lin was perfect here on this map earlier this one certainly is not yeah but it's ch so we shouldn't like write him off already he's trying to find new angles and these attacks were oftentimes about the spirit lodge in the like early mid game stage i don't see him pushing that though one and almost two years watermelon but they're still level one not creeping murlocs just poking into the base but faster level uh already level two town is under siege not so sure about this no lumber mill this time during the attack as he played against lin yeah there's not going to be an easy game for th he either has to sacrifice am levels or leveling mk23 is gonna take forever yeah and normally that is what you need what made az so strong for t8 was him getting to level three quickly and then him applying the pressure making sure the tc couldn't level 2-3 too easily that allowed him along with his great micro to take such a good fight and to win a z basically against lyndon earlier a player's forces are under attack how he's playing a little bit from behind which is also interesting to see how a great player does that skirmishes in the middle skirmishes in the north another what lamental but i love this burrow positioning it's not too accessible and it does a lot of damage if th wants to go for the spirit launch again which seems to be his go-to strategy today oh run falls that's a way to get to a level three still faster with more experience here [Music] and thanks to the chain lightning there should be a secured kill also tc comes in for the table oh we're going for it saves the mana it's a one foot instead of two but yeah it's the troll for him oh man this game is going horrible for th yeah it all comes down to this uh over extension on the borough this derailed his whole early game so for the first time we have an orc with an undelayed lodge with a beastery um with no additional burrow that had to be constructed so the oil game plan is unfolding very well blasted for th passmaster is still in and there's a lot of bashes here sick aoe by focus chain lightning storm this could be gg right here level 2 wolves already yep it's a complete disaster tc is in a surround but he's killing a lot i guess keeps us around it's almost zero experience on this mountain game and only level one tc that's fine he did so much damage it's so fine yep game still pretty rough for th but at least the orc doesn't have an expansion coming up if this was the case this would be probably completely hopeless weber now purge he takes away the big strength which isn't even a big strength uh in watford mental so it's very easy to dispel them and very efficient for xp and tc is almost back there we go lightning shield coming brood strength as well contest the taskmaster again oh god oh my god dude that's so sick this poor mk nothing going right for this game what a shift in momentum yep focus punishing the mistakes very very well th perhaps not expecting such a ferocious opponent once he starts making some errors involves stolen oh yeah nicely done he'll scroll as well mk eight minutes thirty in still struggling with level two outmatch level three finally aura two i think at this point it's absolutely necessary to skip the what elementals and just hope for strong mountain king somewhere and that's the tc level three this is exactly the crux of this mid game where earlier lin was not allowed at this level 3tc because th played perfectly against it now there was this opening for focus and now would be the perfect time to fight ideally with a bit more supply i guess focus only 37 the tc lost it slowed down his production a little bit focus has only 37 supply this doesn't sound right is he cute yeah he killed the expo already right pretty sure pioneer is moving over yeah yeah not even the tower usually is very protective of this non-tiny great hall expansion but not in this game th already went for griffin aviary and invisibility oh does he get the shackle yes he does oh focus fire is it good enough there's still some sun and water mental purged immediately stomp doesn't hit much but hits the archmage so this weapon is gone but on what cost lightning shield stop again in this cast nicely done damage is still rolling okay militia might just be lightning shield as well with i just getting killed okay bye-bye almost has the money for a turban revive which should be the call i think it is enough lumber yeah there we go right after that was still a good fight for th i think yeah okay does he know about this x oh he absolutely does yeah that's an easy cancel ah well maybe not that easy this thesis has a big mana potion which he commits right away he has a tpth does that's a big stop that's a huge stop but he gets the expansion cancelled so does he want to tp out or is this kind of the last stand good also both players losing quite a lot over here partially gets to level four another nice chain lightning clap kodo falls raider uh breaker i mean comes back caster army's still looking good 45 supply breaker okay getting killed there's another one in the stomach wants to snipe it with the dragon hawk and the stun in that works lightning shield on the mk helping with this breaker back archmage in trouble is the time for tp now does he still want to engage is here just turning this around yeah he's turning this around it's almost normally that still mana hits two units that's one kill for sure t c burn through the big mana what is going on archmage is in trouble but okay he needs to go for a tp now doesn't he or in this or something enough mana for the invas he's getting healed by the priests ah actually no he's not getting healed by the priest could be though come on please do your job witch doctor against the invis what the hell how there was a sick fight that was a sick fight by th juicy cam now for th i would have said this was a pretty even split this fight but now the next big camp going to th perhaps swings it in his favor if he does have the time because there's a sentry here focus is barreling south with the aura he's very fast and this golem is surviving forever yeah there's no way you can get this before the first stomp oh nice slow again stomp only on the mountain king stonewall goes through stumbled again clap force into the involved gollum's still up for grabs that even in supply that's involve gone and he speeds on very tough now for focus to engage and there's more clap here we go shawn a little exposed this little piercing damage by the dragon hawk starts to add up and the cast is he's just taking them out a little too easy i feel pat hunt is coming in maybe they turned around again with the piercing damage against the th's casters but the chinese just getting so many kills level 4 am now i can make use of level 2 wardrobe and there's barely any shaman left and level 4 mk also still purge here the chain line it seems a little wasted confused on the hero focus here kodo doesn't get the devourer off lightning shield again and put that on to the kodo but now oh oh that's the tc gone gg th is a master amazing performance today by th what a set of games yeah two o's lynn with the griffin strat and a perfect game on amazonia then against focus on echo plays a solid game with a very smart expo timing patient late game solid and then in the last game he falls really far behind but fights his way back that was amazing play by th yeah th like a literal god today sick performance just yeah the early didn't go too well and there weren't many big mistakes i think i mean except uh being a little too stubborn on the borough and focus played very very well from from there on out but in the fight it looks like he's two tiers ahead he made everything like he did fight a great mana potion on the tc it just resulted in nothing focus didn't get any kills yeah it was weird like it felt like he was supposed to be stronger in that mid game i think focus got caught off as well when he was getting chased in the middle of the map when the dragon hawk came in with a shackle he was like wait a minute why do you have so much stuff i thought i had the stronger early game and that's where it really turned around damn well then really really good performance man cool to see him back in tournaments and cool to see him so successful and with new ideas with the griffin play implemented into nettie's and now remo as you can see in the bottom we have the next match coming up next match is the lower bracket semifinal that doesn't sound too exciting but it's one two zero versus lin see in a bit
